Pat will be manning the shop Thursday and Friday.

I can tell you that if you don’t have a present yet, the fleece lined Pom and Beanie caps priced at $25 are the perfect easy gift and if you buy 3 you get one free!

Young Eagle Surveying Cove

Posted on by Pat D

We found this young eagle recently in Manchester waiting for his next meal to make itself known. It soon flew off and circled the cove. Winter is the best time of the year for eagle watchers like myself. Young eagles present such a hopeful sight any time of the year but winter is my favorite time for eagle watching. They seem to be thriving on Cape Ann.
